Here's a bunch of fighting game news, straight from #EVO 2019!
First up Ed Boon & Netherrealm Studios finally showed ONE of the upcoming new DLC characters for

During EVO 2019's big
Dragon Ball FighterZ finals, Arc System Works officially announced Janemba and Gogeta with the following trailer. And Janemba's getting released this week no less!
And while I might not be a big fan of it, let's not skip French Bread's update for their 2D fighter
Under Night In-Birth: EXE Late[cl-r]. Yeah. Such a weird silly name. But things look pretty decent though:
Slightly ahead of schedule for EVO, thanks to a Valve/Steam leak, the announcement of more
Street Fighter V DLC characters! All available right ahead! Fans wanted E.Honda for so long.. and we even got two more Final Fight guest, thanks Ono!
One of the big announcements of EVO was Harada announcing a major update for
TEKKEN 7 as well as a new Season 3 that will include a bunch of changes, stages and characters. Starting with a fan much requested return and a newcomer for T7:

...As well as a confirmation of a Season 2 which will no less than a guest character from SNK... HAOMARU himself from Samurai Shodown!!! I love seeing all these SNK characters pop up in all sorts of fighters, lately!
But the best announcement came form ArcSys who just announcement a brand new
